aren't CQMBINED VASE, LAMP, AND HANGER.

a u anonfiiea August a, 1925. Serial mfa'zsso.

This invention relatesto improvements in a combined vase, lamp, andhanger, and has for one of its principal objects the provision of anovel, useful, and ornamental device which pos'esses the'combinedproperties of a vase, alamp, and a hanger, in addition to furtherornamental and attractive color effects.

One of the important objects of this invention is to provide, in acombination vase, lamp, and hanger, means for so arranging flowers,preferably artificial flowers or the like, in combination with a lamp,in a vase so that the light from the lamp will shine through theflowers, thereby producing a very'attractive effect and an unusualdesign.

Still another important object of this invention is to provide, incombination with a lamp and hanger, means for disposing artificialflowers or the like in a vase in which the lamp is contained so as toallow the. rays of light from the lamp to penetrate through theinterstices between the flowers onto an object in the hanger, and tofurther intermittently and automatically interrupt the rays from thelight so as to produce mottled and various color effects.

Uther and further important objects of the invention will be apparentfrom the disclosures in. the accompanying drawings and followingspecification.

The invention, in a preferred form, is illustrated in the drawings andhereinafter more fully described.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved combination vase, lamp,and hanger of this invention showing the device as supporting a birdcage or the like.

Figure 2 is a vertical elevation similar to Figure 1, parts being shownin section and other portions being broken away to show the constructionof the vase and lamp combination.

Figure 3 is a similar vertical elevation illustrating a modification ofthe invention.

As shown in the drawings:

The reference numeral 1 indicates generally. the base of a lamp or thelike having an upright or pedestal 2, which in turn supports a hangerelement or the. like 3 of any desired artistic design, and at thejuncture of the upright 2 and hanger element 3 is provided a combinationvase and lamp socket 4 having therein a light globe 5 operated by a pushbutton or the like 6, and

connected by a suitable wire 7 to a convenient source of current.

A similar combined vaseand lamp 8 is positioned at the top of the hangerelement, which in turn supports a bird cage or the like 9, and it-willbe observed that the lamp 5 is so positioned in the vase 7 that aplurality of flowers or the like 10 may be positioned in, around, andover the lamp so that the rays of light from the globe will filterthrough the flowers, thereby producing a highly ornamental andattractive effect. The vases 7 and 8 are preferably arranged toaccommodate artificial flowers only, but it is evident that freshflowers may be placed therein, suitable provision being made for waterto maintain the desired degree of'freshness.

In the. modification shown in Figure 3 a goldfish bowl or the like 11 issupported in position over the combination vase and lamp, and above thelight globe 5 is supported a heat operated fan 12, which rotates duetothe action of the heated air arising from the globe, thereby producing avaried color effect upon the bottom of the fishbowl, due to thedifferent colors of the. light rays filtering through the leaves orpetals of the flowers 10. This provides an additional and still moredesirable and attractive color combination, especially as applied to thewater in the goldfish bowl. A smoking set or similar tray is positionedat 16.

Additional ornamental effects may be obtained by the use of further lampbrackets 14, as shown in Figure 3, and the push button 6 ordinarilyoperates both or all of the light globes at one time.

It will be evident that herein is provided a novel, useful, andattractive form of combined flower vase, lamp, and hanger, which willconstitute a desirable addition to a living room or the like, and whichwill furnish varied effects of light and colors particularly pleasing tothe eye, in addition to the useful features thereof.

OFFECE.

I am aware that many changes may be i made and numerous details ofconstruction varied throughout a wide range without de-' an articlecarried by the flower vase supported by the element, a pedestal, uflower vase providing a connection between the element and the pedestal,and an illuminating element confined on the second mentioned flowervase.

2. An article of the classdescribed including a flower vase supportingelement, an article carried by the flower Vase supported by the elementa pedestal, a flower Vase providing a connection between the pedestaland the element, an illuminating element confined. in the secondmentioned flower vase, and circuit control means for said illuminatingelement.

3. An article of the class described including a supporting element, aflower vase carried by the element for the accommodation of flowers, anilluminating element confined in the Vase and adapted to be covered bythe flowers, a fan carried by the illuminating element and operable byheat generating from the illuminating element and for dispersing thelight rays of the illuminating element and a glass receptacle carried bythe supporting element and disposed in the path of the dispersedlightrays.

In testimony whereof I aflflx my signature.
